About Andy

Born in Canada, I went to Africa, and then lived in Asia for 25 years, before moving to Australia in 1987. My kids are all grown, I have 6 grand children. For the past 8 years I have been sailing solo to places such as Mexico, and across the South Pacific.

Why I want to house sit

After having my boat/home sink beneath me last week, I am without a home, and while I get reoriented, I will be writing a book about the last voyage and why it went wrong, as an example to others.

My experience

Have sat houses in Perth, Kangaroo Island, Ballarat, and other small towns. The longest was a six month sit at Streaky Bay South Australia, where I looked after a farm near the Nullabor. I was writing in most of these places. Lately I have been living on a 35 foot sailboat, in Sydney. I sailed from Sydney, alone in May, arrived in the Aleutian Islands in September, left Dutch Harbor in mid September, and had a failure that took on water. I had to be taken off by Helicopter by the Coast Guard. This will make a chapter in my next book. You can read about me and my books on www.rson.ca. I am looking for a sit where I can finish off a book about this voyage and all the things that went wrong.
